Dane pressed her cheek against Emma’s head, drawing in a deep breath, inhaling the scent of lavender and vanilla. The burn on her wrist was nothing compared to the burning need she felt as her clitoris swelled and throbbed. She struggled to remain calm and just hold Emma, when all she wanted to do was to claim her mouth and explore every inch of her body with her hands, her tongue, her own flesh. The thought sent a shiver through her.

“Are you okay?” Emma asked, pulling away to look up at her.

Dane smiled at her. “I’m fine. I guess I was just enjoying this a little too much.”

Emma blushed. Dane brushed the back of her hand across Emma’s cheek and leaned in to kiss her again, but just as their lips were about to touch, Emma pulled away.

“What?” Dane asked.

Emma took another step back, allowing her hands to slip away from Dane, breaking the embrace. “I don’t think this is a good idea.”

Dane knew when not to push her luck. She didn’t want Emma to run from her again. “Okay.”

Emma helped herself to a cup of coffee and took a seat at the table. Dane noticed the slight rosy tinge to her cheeks that hadn’t been there before. She smiled. Emma was feeling this too. Not wanting to let the moment fall apart completely, she quickly thought of a plan.

“What are you doing today?”

Emma shook her head and seemed about to answer when she was interrupted by the phone.

Dane waited, turning back to the ruined breakfast.

Emma went to the edge of the stairs and called up to Curtis. There was no answer. She heard Emma’s steps pound up the stairs. A moment later her steps were hurried as she rushed back down the stairs and ran to the front door.

Dane turned and looked out the window. The beat-up little truck was gone. Curtis wasn’t there. She frowned. When had he left? She hadn’t heard him get up in the night and he hadn’t come down for breakfast. It wasn’t even like him to be up this early in the morning. Dane had a sinking feeling in her gut.

She heard Emma’s voice, still talking on the phone. “He isn’t here. I don’t know where he is.” There was a pause as Emma must have been listening to the phone. “I’ll let him know when I see him.” She came back into the kitchen looking bereft. Dane braced herself for more bad news.

“Curtis is gone again. Did he say anything to you before he left?”

Dane shook her head. “I didn’t realize he was gone until just now. I didn’t hear him leave.”

Emma closed her eyes and sank back into her chair. “I shouldn’t have yelled at him. I know how easily he gets his feeling hurt. What have I done?”

“You didn’t do anything. Curtis has a mind of his own. He has a lot to sort out right now. Give him a little time—he’ll come around.” The look of fear and regret in Emma’s eyes broke Dane’s heart.
